This has been tested and works well on a ARM9 Linkstation Live. Should work on others. We are using HellaNZB which is a NZB-based usenet "leech" client which also PAR checks and un-archives the files you have downloaded.

Contents 1 Prerequisites 2 Stock firmware/jtymod 2.1 Installation 2.2 Configuration 2.3 Adding a webfrontend 3 Freelink 3.1 Installation 3.2 Configuration 3.3 Adding a webfrontend

Prerequisites

There are 2 options:

• Open_Stock_Firmware/jtymod + bootstrapping to the optware feed
• Category:FreeLink

Stock firmware/jtymod

Installation

ipkg update
ipkg install py-hellanzb 

ipkg update ipkg upgrade ipkg install python py-cheetah py-cherrypy py-elementtree py-celementtree py-yenc par2cmdline unrar unzip

This installs Python and all the dependencies needed including UnRar, PAR checking and YEnc decoder.

Download SABnzbd from http://www.sabnzbd.org/download/

Configuration

You'll need to configure SABnzbd which is easiest done using the web interface which you can access via

http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/

Edit the config to include your Usenet providers server and your own choices as to whether to enable PAR or RAR checking.

Remember, the Linkstation is a NAS box not a high spec PC so don't be too greedy on the number of connections as it might actually make it go slower. For example, I can happily max out a 4Mbit line with 4 connections. Try different numbers and see how you get on.

Adding a webfrontend

Realistically you will probably want a web based frontend. Hellahella doesn't seem to want to run, Zussaweb looks pretty for monitoring downloads but the upload NZB and Newzbin ID imports don't work for me. I used Lighttpd but you could use a 2nd instance of Apache or maybe piggyback on the Apache that runs the LS's web interface but it didn't work for me. I chose HellaPHP as it worked 100%, required minimal configuration and the author was prepared to amend it to work 100% on my Linkstation setup. He's also adding some more functionality in future like password protection etc and a new look.

ipkg update
ipkg install lighttpd fcgi-php

You'll need to configure (of course)

vi /opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

change

 #                               "mod_fastcgi", 

into

                                "mod_fastcgi",

change

url.access-deny             = ( "~", ".inc" )

into

url.access-deny             = ( "~", ".inc", ".sqlite" )

change

#fastcgi.server             = ( ".php" =>
#                               ( "localhost" =>
#                                 (
#                                   "socket" => "/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket",
#                                   "bin-path" => "/usr/local/bin/php"
#                                 )
#                               )
#                             )

into

fastcgi.server             = ( ".php" =>
                               ( "localhost" =>
                                 (
                                   "socket" => "/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket",
                                   "bin-path" => "/opt/bin/php-fcgi"
                                 )
                               )
                            )

Give some thought as to where you want to have your webpages. I like mine accessible to my Windows PCs so that I can edit directly in Frontpage or whatever but in this case I won't change the defaults.. Also you may need to open a port to the webserver if you want to have your HellaPHP available remotely over the internet.

Now you are ready to start lighttpd by /opt/etc/init.d/S80lighttpd

Download and unpack HellaPHP. Change the values of $disk and $download_nzb_path in config.php to match your download and NZB directories

Now you can use the interface at http://linkstation:8081/hella/ (or wherever you've popped the HellaPHP index.php and other files)
